Description

Preparation method of high-precision thin-diameter thin-wall nickel-titanium alloy pipe
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of metal material processing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-precision thin-diameter thin-wall nickel-titanium alloy pipe.
Background
Nitinol is the largest-used and most versatile shape memory alloy developed in recent decades. Compared with traditional medical metal materials (such as stainless steel, titanium alloy and the like), the nickel-titanium alloy has unique shape memory effect and superelasticity, better corrosion resistance and wear resistance and excellent mechanical property, and is widely applied to the fields of oral cavity, orthopedics, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, liver, gall bladder, chest and the like.
The high-precision thin-diameter thin-wall nickel-titanium alloy pipe with the diameter of 2 mm-3 mm (tolerance +/-0.02 mm) and the wall thickness of 0.2 mm-0.3 mm (tolerance +/-0.02 mm) has high strength, radial supporting force and special shape recovery capability, and is widely applied to minimally invasive surgical instruments, particularly to interventional intracavity stents. However, the nickel-titanium alloy has large deformation resistance at room temperature, high work hardening rate and poor plastic deformation capability, and the pipe is easy to crack in the cold deformation process, so the forming problem of the alloy pipe is always a difficult point in the field of plastic processing.
At present, the method for producing the nickel-titanium alloy pipe in China mainly adopts a method of combining cold machining with multi-pass annealing, and has low production efficiency and high production cost. For example, the technological process adopted in the reference (Hujie, Liuli. titanium-nickel shape memory alloy capillary processing technology research [ J ]. New technology and New technology, 2006, 6: 51-52.) is as follows: vacuum smelting, forging, medium-temperature hydrostatic extrusion of a pipe blank, cold rolling, cold drawing and heat treatment. However, because the alloy has a very fast work hardening rate, a large number of transverse cracks are easy to appear on the inner surface and the outer surface of the pipe in the cold rolling process, particularly on the most obvious inner surface, and the rolled pipe is usually broken.
Some patents adopt hot working method to prepare nickel-titanium alloy tube. Chinese patent CN103394532B adopts induction heating to realize continuous hot drawing of the nickel-titanium alloy tube, but the induction heating process can cause uneven heating of the tube. The Chinese patent CN1686627A inserts the core rod into the nickel-titanium alloy tube blank, then adopts continuous hot drawing to draw the combination body, and finally takes out the core rod to obtain the alloy thin-wall tube. Although the hot drawing method can improve the plasticity of the nickel-titanium alloy, the inner part and the surface of the pipe prepared by the method are in a hot processing state, the precision and the quality of the pipe are not high, and the requirements of the implanted stent on the size and the precision of the pipe are difficult to meet. In addition, the mandrel needs to be inserted into the nickel-titanium alloy tube blank in the existing hot drawing process of the nickel-titanium alloy tube, then the combined body is drawn, and the mandrel needs to be taken out after the drawing is finished, so that the production flow is increased, the chemical components of the tube can be polluted, and the inner surface quality of the tube is poor.
At present, only a few companies in the United states and the French can realize the industrialization of the pipes, the production process of the domestic prior art is more and fussy, the production cost is high, the capacity of producing high-precision thin-diameter thin-wall nickel-titanium alloy pipes in a large scale is not realized, and the pipes still need to be imported in large quantity at present. Therefore, a new process for producing and processing the high-precision thin-diameter thin-wall nickel-titanium alloy pipe is actively developed, the production cost is reduced, the production efficiency is improved, and the method has great significance and wide application prospect.
